I got a decant from a friend. I have been wanting to try this for so long, off Dorian'S reviews and raves. It is gglorious. In the vial all I get is amazing beeswax. Once on my skin, I get somewhat spicy leather mixing with the amazing beeswax. Drool

Thanks everybody, it was pretty much what I was thinking, just gonna start scouring my oils and make sure I don't wear any potentials around him

I have recently added a man thing into my life that has a major nut allergy. He loves scents and I really want to explore smells between us, but I don't want to kill him. Does anyone have any notes I should for sure avoid besides the obvious ones?

I have been wearing this daily at work for the past few days. I love it! I can't smell the sugar at all, to me all I smell is an amazing men's cologne, but my coworker can pick up on the sugar and does not think man when she smelled my wrist. So I get my men's world to me while those around me pick up a little less on that and don't mind!

Testing my freshly received bottle which has been sitting around the house for like 8 hours now. My experience with cucumber is not that awesome, but the rest of the notes intrigued me and I just had to have some more post products in my collection I actually really like this, it is odd, but I think it will be really good for summer. I get a little bit of the watery cucumber, but I mostly get tea and sweet cake. I get the tea with a smidge of cake sweet in the background on the throw, where as if I stick my nose on my blanket where I spritzed it is primary sweet cakes with a smidge of cucumber and tea. Will probably wind up as a linen spray, as it is not much of a house smell for me. Totally gonna keep this blind gamble!

And added is an imp of Gnome, finally getting around to finishing my untested oils in preparation of Lupers coming. Snake Oil: 12/14/15 Joy Mojo: 12/24/15 Gnome: 1/30/16 Probably should let the lab know, so far nothing is coming in ruined but if you don't have your own stash of imp caps or alternative storage, then your kinda out an imp.

Okay finally got around to testing my imps. I have one frimp from the lab a couple months ago and the other is an older imp I got from a FB order. The fresher imp: Wet: omg who started the bbq... ug, but that quickly calms down to a somewhat decent smoke Dry: smoky spice rather interesting The older imp: same with a lot less smoke and no bbq. Ug was just testing the newer one, but when I got that bbq note had to see if it ages out which either it does or there is some major batch veration between my two imps. I actually kinda like both of them once that BBQ note tones down. It will be getting added to my boy mood perfumes as I don't see girl in this at all.

Quick test before taking a shower to see if I will wear to work tomorrow. This is the one imp that somehow missed details, I don't know where it came from or how old it is... Application: Quick rub of the imp wand, Wet: major strong florals, not sure which flower is which, this smells awesome of flowers. Major throw Dry: tones down a little, but still flower so much flowers. Wow, I am starting to figure out what people are saying when they talk throw. I have tested so many of my collection and reviews talk about throw and on me it is a skin scent, but what little I put on, I am sitting here in a flower cloud and it is an amazing cloud. Will update with work review tomorrow after work!

I had an imp of Joy Mojo recently that came to me with what looked to be a cut lid that finished snapping when I tried opening it, I had randomly ordered some fresh imp vials shortly into my journey so had something to put it in, but in my limited experience in the few months I have been at this. Bad caps are a rare occurrence, and probably from a bad batch of caps. I don't think anything in my imp/decant collection is older than a few years so can't attest for really old imps, but out of 136 imps/decants only had two broken caps, both from recent lab orders. My second broken cap was an imp of Snake Oil and it split after about 10 openings.

I love this oil so decided to make a review, Got a frimp from the lab a little over a month ago, then last week got an imp from someone So reviewing both as they are very much different. Imp: the vetiver is more top note in the non-lab imp, where I get much leather with a hint of vetiver in the lab imp Wet: about the same as in imp, with the other notes peaking around the corner as it dries down. Dry: taking forever they appear to be reversing, in the non-lab imp the leather is coming out as top note and vetiver as top note in the lab imp I really like this very much a boy scent which I am rather lacking Wearing this to work tomorrow to test how long it sticks around!

Got this with my TAL order as a frimp. I sniffed it that day and could not stand it, so sat it aside and went on to other smellies. a couple weeks ago I sniffed the imp again and noticed it had gotten a bit better. I was messing with my stash organizing and what-nots. I decided to sniff this again and found something quite appealing to my nose. I went ahead and swipped some on the back of my wrist and my wrist was kinda a light brown yellow color for a couple minutes tell I rubbed. Wet: don't really get much, can slightly pick up on the herbs with a little spice poking up its head. Drying: The herbs settle down and the vanilla starts coming out and playing nicely with the spice and herbs. I put a very small amount on and am not getting any throw, but this is defiantally going to be a bottle in one of my future orders, maybe many so I can stash them away with Do Not open till ... stickers on them

Got this as a frimp a few weeks ago. Sniffing the imp then it was so hot and burned the nose, I put it away for it to hopefully settle a little or something. Was clearing out my notes and seen I had not tested this so I tested it today. All I get is Cinnamon and after a minute or two a nice red, bumpy, ichy testing area. I did not mind the smell, but I don't like my smelly stuff burning me

unknown age frimp Imp: dirt lots of dirt wet: floral ash tray, rather pleasant but still very much ash tray it is very odd dries down to a powdery floral with no hint of the ash tray

Tested an imp of unknown age that I got as a frimp from a FB order In Imp: astringent piney spicy yew wood wet: strong masculine spiced yew wood dry: just picking up on the strong spicy woods, no rose, do pick up bits of pine I may keep the imp and test again sometime in the future before it continues the journey to someone else as it is a nice male scent and I am lacking in male scents that stay male with my female chemistry.

I recently got an imp of this with an order. I love it. Wore it today at work. Imp: leather and lilac Wet: sharp sweet plum and lilac a couple hours in all I can catch is light amounts of leather, and no throw except when wet. Love it, so in line for a bottle as the imp will probably continue the journey to someone else who needs to fall in love.

A few days ago I did a quick sniff test and my inner child was like yay! This is very much a sugar child scent. I love it so much. From the bottle I get very sugary sour strawberry. First on the wrist it stays much the same very sweet and so much sugar my teeth are buzzing. I made myself a little roller ball decant of it and wore it to a party for new years. I can't smell much of anything with my wrist more than 6 inches away from my face. Same with what amount I put on my collar bone. The little 1ml roller ball fits nicely in my cleavage so reapplication was not hard, but I did have to many time through the night and no one really ever smelled me beside me. I love this oil, it is very much a childhood memory happy scent, but does not last long on me and has virtually no throw. Will revisit this in a few months after aging and see how it ages Update: I was wrong about lasting power, still have to bury my nose in wrist, but I still get strong sugar goodness the next day!

Took me a good bit, but I ranked 16 of my stash, two of that are not actually skin tested and ranked low anyway, but in my top liked oils, I have leather, red musk, myrrh, and various floral. I need to learn better control of excel/google doc, the ranking and tracking would be a lot easier if I could properly make use of macros.

I decided to wear this to work today. It has confirmed that I do in fact love dragon's blood, but that is all I get out of my frimp . I will be trying this again when it comes again in the rotation. I does last rather long on the back of my wrists, a close skin scent. Was really hoping for the smoke and leather notes, might try layering this with a bit of Manuscript.

Mine is from scratch, it is the google link and I have made good use of this forum and copy and paste If I attempt to use that sheet of doom it will be my doom as I try and collect anything and everything I can, but I just got in this and am focusing on the present and future with minor journeys into the recent past.

I am gonna have to find an easier way to list notes to somehow figure this out. I don't have a lot of favorites just yet as I am brand new, but to make a tally and figure out fav notes for future orders would be awesome. I have like 124 (41 pending) oils to categorize and test... and that does not count whatever frimps I get from pending orders... I drove off the deep end and am now gonna hang myself with spread sheets....

yeah sometimes sexy is just good for one's self esteem

For gender-fluid I would definitely recommend some slightly masculine, but not too much, blends like Dorian or Jareth. Because David Bowie A ray of sunshine makes me think of bright blends like Alice and Katharina, as well as bright, orangey scents like Tweedledee. You might also like Zephyr. Sorry this is a little fuzzy new to the forum my quoting with iron itself out eventually after awhile Of those Zephyr and Tweedledee are in my wish list, but not the rest. Been meaning to add Dorian as so many rave about that one and maybe a little sexy will be good

Been reading through others and decided to give this a go. I am a gender-fluid asexual depressed ray of sunshine full of anxiety. Most of the time I am a ray of sunshine and everybody enjoys my smile and laughter. I don't do well around people and if I am not hiding behind a job I am a rather skater brained blond stereotype in social situations. I am an art major that quit community collage in TX quite a few years ago and returned home to Alaska. But yeah the first line sums me up rather well I am 33 years old bio-female as that does effect how oils may or may not smell on/to me.

Scent review! wet in the bottle so much leather. On my skin mostly still overwhelming leather, get a little parchment and ink. Dry many hours later still a nice old book. At some times I get a small wiff of something in the background that is a bit chilly. Reminds me a little of First time I saw a ghost. I think I might amp leather, but this only like my 5 oil being worn for more than like 30 minutes.... I wore it today to work to do a time test. I have tried this a few time on other days to test the scent and reactions. I totally love this oil, but had some major issues today. I spent the day with my eye and nose running. It was very odd, but it was also a day of way to much random perfumes being sprayed around the area which could be what had set me off. I am gonna have to test this again in a week, then next month and see if maybe female issues caused the hype in allergic reaction. I have 2 bottles so I really hope this does not give me issues in a few days. 12/25 figured out the issue is not female or strictly allergy. I have a stinking head cold which is compounded by the other two issues...

I am horrible at notes as TAL oils are my first ever oils. I have no clue what this oil smells like notes wise. I love this oil. I got this oil for its description and it works very well. In combination to sleeping with brass balls the scent of this oil on my shirt is a nice calming oil that is keeping me from doing something stupid at work in relation to the bully on my team. Since I have started wearing this combination, I have had more courage, my anxiety at work has been much less. I have even started having the courage to ask questions and bring up issues. And this has such major staying power. Any time I find myself ready to snap at the bully I take a sniff of my shirt and instantly calm down. It also tends to neutralize the cheap artificial scents the sorters like to spray and burn when they come across them. I work as a Miscellaneous bagger at Value Village and we get a lot of cheap body sprays and the oil wax burners usually have remains in them... I have issues with a lot of commercial smells and having something that helps keep that headache at bay is awesome
